: : Will the much anticipated 3 liter 220 hp E46 have the infernal speed governor set at 128 mph? If so, why bother increasing the HP. Better off with a 328, or even 323, with a Dinan/Confortti software upgrade.

: they are limited due to the tires the car comes with...you will not get 220hp from a Dinan or Conforti chipped 328

why they pick 137 instead of 149? margin of error perhaps? (eom) Bruce 17:03 9/22/99 (3)
